Indian Cultures from Around the World
Piapoco Indians
Piapoco: (Dzaze) 99 in Venezuela (1975 Gaceta Indigenista); 3,000 in Colombia; 3,100 total. Venezuela:
Tributaries and lower Vichada River region (Map). Also Meta and Guaviare rivers. Colombia:
Area of San Fernando de Atapapo, Amazonas along the Orinoco. Arawakan, Maipuran, Northern Maipuran, Inland.
Plains. Hunter-gatherers, swidden agriculturalists.
Piapoco (Pee-ah-poh-coh) Indians live in the Amazon basin of Venezuela. The Piapoco men
and sometimes women carve animals such as the eagles and armadillos from light-weight balsa wood plentiful in the
rain forest. In order to gather the wood
they must take a two day journey into the jungle where the trees grow on the
banks of a river. They carve the sculptures with a machete and knife. They
sometimes leave the wood natural or use vegetable dyes made from gathered
materials to paint and decorate it. The men also carve benches out of the
heavier congrio wood which is characterized by both light and dark wood
together. They live in traditional villages and their homes are palm-thatched
huts.

The Piapoco take their art to a small nearby town that is the fartherest
town into the rain forest area. There they sell their works at an Indian market.
The women weave the traditional coil flat baskets of grasses and palm fronds
made by several indigenous tribes in the rain forest. The men weave large baskets
of wood and fronds of a local palm. The baskets are very pliable and may be
collapsed down in order to pack into other baskets. The Piapocos are a
branch of the larger Piaroa tribe indigenous to the Amazon rain forest.
Carnelio
Rodriguez is an extremely talented woodcarver, carving large tropical
birds from light-weight balsa wood that is plentiful in the rain forest.
Area Indians live very traditionally in villages, bringing their arts and
crafts to the nearest small town on market day.
Raoul
Cavares carves animals such as the eagles and
armadillos from light-weight balsa wood. He also carves benches out of the
heavier congrio wood. Raoul is shown here in front of his home which is a
traditional Piapoco thatched hut.
